Sanbornton Congregational Church, UCC
An Open & Affirming, Peace with Justice Congregation

Christian Education

Church School meets at the same time as the worship service. Children attend the first part of the service and leave for class after the Children’s Sermon. Nursery Care is provided for the full service and Confirmation Class is available.

Our Church School Program -  Nursery (birth through age 2), Preschool (ages 3 through age 5), Grades 1 & 2, Grades 3 & 4, and Grades 5 through 8 - is enhanced by dedicated and enthusiastic teachers.  Our children have fun while learning and their voices ring out each Sunday in our lively Junior Choir.  A significant increase in enrollment has occurred over the past few years.

 We currently are using Cokesbury curriculum, Rock Solid for the younger children and One Room Sunday School for the older children.

Our program follows the school year and during the summer there is the opportunity for the children to participate in our UCC Camping Programs at Geneva Point on Lake Winnipesaukee or the Horton Center in the White Mountains.

Our children have enthusiastically participated in the UNICEF Trick or Treat collection, collected food for the Food Pantry, taken a trip to Heifer International’s Overlook Farm in Rutland, MA., and collected a sizeable amount for Pennies for Peace.

Our church is in the process of ‘going green’. Ideas were developed and then incorporated into the life of our children.  This connects our children to the adults in the church and keeps them active in the growing life of our church.  A skit about the Garbage Monster was performed by the children on Children’s Sunday.  To send our message out to the community, the children and adults built a float for Sanbornton Old Home Day, carried sandwich boards encouraging recycling, and passed out bookmarks giving green tips and advertising our Open House that we have each September.
